Interestingly, in this study in naive subjects (subjects that had never had acupuncture before) the radial arterial diameter did not change during real or sham acupuncture. Clinically, the results of the study may have implications for practitioners that use perceived changes in the radial pulse to successfully gauge treatment effects, in regards to using this technique with naive (first time) acupuncture clients.

Thus, rather than always focusing on the CM pulse qualities it is just as important to understand the diagnostic meaning of pulse parameter changes, how and why these occur and the related diagnostic meaning. In this way the information provided by parameter changes is very important for diagnostic purposes.

In the following chapter we move on to the more complex pulse parameters such as arterial wall tension, pulse force, pulse occlusion and pulse contour. It is the various combinations of these complex parameters in conjunction with the simple parameters that produce the more complex CM pulse qualities such as the Firm pulse or the Soggy pulse, to name but two.
